Global markets are rallying ahead of the Fed rate cuts, and Indian markets are continuously reaching new highs, reflecting strong investor confidence.
"The focus is totally on the Fed action and Fed speech of 18 September. But the 12 September Indian markets action is pointing to a classical flow pattern of equity markets getting inflows as the US dollar weakens on the back of Fed rate cuts. Markets will move sharply in anticipation of this. FIIs have cut the caution out from our cautious optimism and made us ardently optimistic,” said Ajay Bagga, Banking and Market expert.
